Default Tobi ate out stitches

Tobi's now home from his surgery. (4 stones removed from bladder). I thought he was doing good the second day when I got home and feed him. He ate well and then I noticed his whole belly area was opened up. I thought I was gonna faint. Vet couldn't do anything till morning since I had just fed him. So it was a loooooooooooooong night staying up with him to assure he didn't do anymore damage to it.
He had to of done it the first night we brought him home when I was sleeping because my husband was home with him watching to be sure he didn't mess with it the following day.
So back to the vet to get stitched back up then they added the dreaded cone to his head. He is just miserable. I feel so bad for the little guy. He can't even bend his head down to eat, so I have been hand feeding him. Then I have to tip the small bowl in order to get him to drink. He's really having a hard time coping with this. I'm not sure if I should call the vet back and see if there is another way to deal with this. Someone told me that there is a spray or something that you can put on an area to keep them from licking. Does anyone one know of this? And if so does it work well? Very concerned... Suppose to keep cone on 10days and I don't know if he can take it.
